20 Years of Moomin Valley


Reading Sam's post on 17 years of Financial Samurai, I realized I missed the 20th Anniversary of Moomin Valley! These were the first two posts. In the early years, I posted a lot. Since the GFC and even more since 2012, I have posted less. The nadir was in 2017 (25 posts)–the year after our first child was born. But I still managed a few posts beyond the monthly and annual reports. 2018 was a bumper year for posting and since then, I've stabilized at around 60 posts a year on average. In total there have been 2,270 posts or about 110 per year.

At first, I wasn't sure what I would use the blog for. Mostly, it has been for accountability for myself. I know I need to post about the ups and downs each month. Writing about investments means that you need to think about them. I hoped my wife would read it to learn about our finances, but that didn't really happen.
